• you know what I do when Im a little confused?
    when Im a little troubled
    and I need something to abuse?
    I grab a pen, poke it into my eyes
    so it can reach my mind and get my thoughts loose
    then once thats done I put that tip to paper
    going over that s**t like some crazed crusader
    doing this to save myself from disaster
    like always because everytime Im in pain
    my solution is always the same
    i just need to...

    ride it out
    write it out
    thats all I gotta do
    ride it out
    write it out
    it protects me from anything
    including you

    because I always seem to get through everything
    from summer to next spring
    no matter what the issue is
    so don't ever bother asking me
    just pay attention to the writing
    whether its on the paper or on the wall
    because needless to say
    theres a reason for it all
    unless I've put something specifically to say
    that theres no reason for what I've written here today
    its just boredom and like any other problem
    I just gotta

    ride it out
    write it out
    its my favorite thing to do
    ride it out
    writ it out
    gets me through anything
    even what I went through with you

    Now you might wonder who are you?
    you got your own part in my chorus
    whats my reason and why you?
    well theres no fun in naming names
    because no matter where you are
    things between us will never change
    so why bother with putting blame to your name
    when Im such a sucker for mystery
    why dont you beat me at my own game?
    and if you still dont know
    why dont you go ahead and

    ride it out
    write it out
    do you really think its you?
    ride it out
    write it out
    why would you think that?
    ride it out
    write it out
    if you got a reason then I guess
    its probably about you
    ride it out
    write it out

    just write that s**t out
    then ride that pen outta here
